  • Assassin bug used Leech Life. It was super effective!!!

    WHY U SO SCARY NATURE??

    

  • 1:25 is sad...

  • 0:38 looks like a skull!

  • The baby bat is so cute <3 I want it

  • ezio's faverite bug

  • assassins bug brotherhood :D

  • i want a pet bat

  • @ifartwell yes I know.. but I think most of the time you don't feel it because you're asleep or to busy with other stuff. I checked it multiple times, what hapens if you leave a musquito on you, and let her sting, but honestly I did feel it.

    Though I really believed it wouldn't hurt a bit..

  • poor baby bat :~:

  • man fuck those bugs... that bat was really cute!

  • suck another creatures what???...oooh blood

  • @ifartwell I think it's like with musquito's. You do feel a little sting, but when you're asleep you won't wake up from it.

    Truely, a sting from a musquito can be felt as a very small sting. Never been stung by a musquito when you were awake?

  • feel bad for that bat D:

  • @ifartwell

    They're bites itch like crazy!!

  • From 0:13 to 0:17.5 sounded so wrong

  • anyone want to scratch their head while watching this

  • moral of this story. fck a girl when she sleeps

  • ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew & pooor bat lol,

  • The Bug's llike, "MY NAME IS EZIO AUDITORE", The Bug lives by THE CREED

  • Why didn't he use an air assination? Thats what I would have done.

  • I feel bad for the bat :(

  • i would love to assassinate a few of those bugs.

  • wow, i see those all around here, i kill them all

  • wth eh whats with them attacking the fucking bat ugly lil' shit faces

  • Where's its cloak and dagger???

  • Feel so sorry for the bat...

  • nooo, baby bat run! why didn't they help it D:

  • run young bat run!!!

  • HA! now whose the one getting his blood sucked HUH?! How do you like now, BITCH?!

  • more like Vampire Bugs. I didnt see it assassinate anything.

  • Assassin bugs can give you Chaga's Disease and Vampire bats can give you rabies. Take your pick.

  • wat the hell

    leave thoes bat alone stupid bugs

    wat ddi the bat every do to u

    instead of eating u for dinner wat did da bug do to u T.T

  • geez!! they are huge!! i hate needles and look!! walking alive needles!! *shivers...

  • bugssins creed?

  • @Domnage34 lol

  • Assassin Bug...and where is his hidden blade?!?!

  • Poor baby Stellaluna!!!

  • They realy know what is good.

    Blood!

  • fun fact: these bugs also serve as a vector for Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas)

  • The purpose of the assassin bug is to give vampire bats a taste of their own medicine.

  • HAhahaha xD The video was buffering at the best moment ever. 'From the moment of birth the assasion bug has one misson. To suck a.. -buffer-

  • Is this really National Geographic?

    Very dumbed-down presentation in this video. Seems like they're trying to attract 8 year olds.

  • there's a grammar-spelling error in the description text.

    It should be "How about the bug that sucks its blood?"

    not "it's"

  • fucking parasites.. :D

  • fucking bug

  • Those insect can be used as blood bags O_O

  • lol

  • For your info the adult assassin bug could suck blood yes and it could too inject its saliva which could kill the "pup" ,dissolves its inside and drink it of which is in this case the young "pup" is just too big but should there be a troop of adult bugs the aftermath could be fatal or even death.

  • if i saw one i would drop a brick and or rock on it

  • and short gun it 10 times

  • We caught a wheelbug here--a type of assassin bug. Quite an interesting creature.

  • aww that poor baby bat

  • Ugly F****ers, Huh?

  • I'm sure they're real pretty on the inside though.

  • I love the ad I got on the video:

    "Terminix—Protect Your Home From Pests"

  • Finally! A bug kind enough to numb before it bites! Damn mosquitoes need a lesson in blood sucking etiquette.

  • HAHAHA agreed:)

  • Do you feel a mosquito biting and sucking your blood? Itching is a reaction caused by the anesthetic and anticoagulant in the mosquito's saliva.

  • @Hauraunah well, im pretty sure that the mosquitoe releaeses its anestetic first aswell and when it has had its fill, it then spits out a poison that causes discomfort, then flies away. although, i am not educated enough on bugs to really know if this statment is true.

  • @MaTjs

    What the hell?! Why even give us the anestetic if it's going to give an irritant right after?!

  • @Hauraunah why indeed. although, antmanmax seemed to explain it better. he/she is correct on not being able to feel the mosquitoe until it has finished sucking. bugs are fascinating creatures.

  • @Hauraunah mosquitoes do nimb victims it's the sedative that causes the itchy feeling

  • @vincent78433 Lol that's a very bland trade off. Second of pain or hours of irritation?

  • why vertebraes?

  • because theyre not strong enough to get through invertebrates' shells?

  • they have special bloodtypes that makes them grow stronger and bigger

  • Invertebrates usually have an exoskeleton, meaning they have their bones on the outside of their body, creating a protective shield so the needle/mouth of the assassin bug can't penetrate. Definition of a vertebrate : any Animal with a back bone. There are the odd invertebrate that has no bones at all, like a jelly fish, but wheres an assassin bug going to find a jelly fish?

    Also, if you are a soldier : would you attack the hard person or the soft person? Same context.

  • /watch?v=HkLLOH7qXPg

    /watch?v=G7X24_vOWwU

  • damn, them bats are pretty fugly.

  • that's fucking disgusting.

  • WHY DIDNT THEY HELP IT?? Poor baby bat...

  • Probably because nature should be left alone to run its course. If they hadn't been in the cave filming and the bat fell who would save it?

  • lo0l once i was on school camp and i woke up with an earwig in both my nostrills and both my ears

  • lol like the bug in starship troopers XD

  • Poor little bat pup...

    Eh, Circle of life.

  • so youre calling National Geographic idiots? please die

  • agreed

  • I found some creepy bitch eating the rubber out of my rear deck on the accord. Major body armour, this think was huge. So preditory, I was scared to kill it. Took some pics, lol, and into the trash that pincered bitch went.

  • lol, did you upload the pics anywhere?

  • no, their in my phone. My uncle was a biology teacher, so I'm hoping he can tell me what that mofo is. Looked like a Palmetto bug on steroids...

    If I ever learn to do vids on youtube, I'll do a special

  • Haha, cool, that is if the bug doesn't come back and eat your phone

  • pop it!! =D

  • seriously... fuckin nurpin' all over the damn place...

  • Assassin Bug = Ninja of the insect species.

  • since the young bat can't fly yet.....

    GET TO DA CHOPPA

  • AHHAHAHA!!

  • the food chain isn't a chain at all its more like a balled up string with all points touching each other !

  • i dont want to watch somthing get killed ,hate shit like this.

  • get over it. its life

  • RUN FOREST

  • they should make a new batman super villain called the Assassin Bug

  • Why so they call it a assassin when it does not kill'?

  • @hpufo because it transmits Chagas disease, a horrible incurable disease that destroys your liver and heart. Many people never know they have it- they just get heart disease. Nasty. These bugs are popping up all over the US now...

  • you know what?

    i hate these things too...

    how about you DONT paste it all over the place huh?? how bout that?

  • GO FUCK THAT BAT UP!

    jk poor bat :<(

  • Reminds me a lot of my ex

  • WOW--Sh**.

  • oh no run lil battie run!

  • That bat was adorable... Poor thing. :<

  • awhh poor bat

  • Lol I don't get it... Is the bug poisonous or what? It doesn't look like it kills anyone just takes their blood?

  • its not poisonous, but u8u cant live without blood :| POOR BAT!!:((

  • Yeah, but it can't take all the bat's blood..? It doesn't look big enough to contain it all..? I don't really feel sorry for the bat either x) All creatures die sooner or later.

  • Ya but what if there is a large group? One flea can't kill a dog but a lot of them can kill a dog, puppy or cat.

  • then you wouldnt wake up at all

  • wow that would be a messed up interrogation technique. tie someone down and let these little buggers crawl all over them!

  • 1:30 AWAY YOU MINDLESS PARASITES xD

  • WICKED CLOWNZ NEVA DIE

  • thats cool:D

  • What happened to the pup!?!?!?!?

  • well i hope he got away :((

  • it died :D

  • lol vampire hunter!

  • lol wut?

  • wow i love nature

  • who doesnt?

  • they cant just "save the bat" their wildlife filmers they have an oath to leave nature alone and let it do it's thing, they cant just jump in and save every animal thats being eaten then how's that fair for the other one trying to eat? yeah it sucks but its how the world works

  • How can a bug have a chance against even a baby bat? It should be able to kill them. Either way, I would squash those vile insects/

  • lol. real wampire is a assassin bug not bat :o) fresh blood!

  • wow thats scary and creepy

    he should hav saved the batasshole

  • just imagine if these things can fly! Fortunately they dont

  • Tell that to the ones in our office.

  • what do you mean?

  • The ones in the office I use to work at could fly. There are many different species of this kind of bug.

  • save the bat asshole...

  • It's a nature documentary, you don't save the bat. Animals eat each other to survive, enough said.

  • food chain lol

  • Exactly.

  • Kill them all! I don't want more drakulas reproducing themselves!

  • Thats only 1 kind of 7000+.. There are good kinds.. The ones living in my house kill other bugs & leave mamals alone.

  • EWW, you think that's scary try the common mosquito

  • i dig bugs, i had sex with one and made mini bugs. they died of a bug.

  • ????!!!!!

  • 1:20 poor bat.

  • if you guys ever get bitten by one make sure you stay calm and collect(WEAR GLOVES) the bug for proper identification

  • why do you need to collect it for identification?

  • because there are a different types of assasin bugs and i think some can do certain things to you. idk i'll go check

  • Am I the only one that found it creepy when the bug hatched...

  • nice video....

  • did you mean Mohito?

  • kick his ass Assassin Bug

  • wanabe mosquito

  • 0:41

    am i the only one who sees the skull?

  • creepy as hell

  • It does suggest the image of one. Nature is a sculptor.

  • Thats scary!

  • yeah thats how the wild is. but they don't have to tape the bugs killing a baby bat!

    even if it is a vampire bat!

  • Poor Bug, shoot the bat

  • poor bat shoot the bug

  • i would kick thos bugs asses >:O

  • fuck off you bastard bugs, leave the poor bat alone!

  • thats how it is in the wild. one animal after another :( sad

  • now that is something i never saw before

  • man you could actually see its butt getting bigger with blod!

  • Shut up you ignorant piece of shit.

  • yeh but thats nature mate

  • that was much blood

  • D8 I hope the bat pup made it out alive.

    -Kristine X3-

  • Ehh, the bug didn't killed the bat I believe, just drank a little blood?

  • The baby bat should have bit the bug in the head.

    GRrr BAT wants his blood back

  • lol it steals blood throughout its baby stage, but when its adult its gotten so tired of stealing it just goes straight up to a bat and takes it.

  • the cub was getting "pwned"
